Generally, if you are going up the Jungfraujoch, your best option is the Half-Fare Card, as it gives the best discount (50%) on that expensive trip. If you kids are under 16, be sure and ask for a free Family Card, and then all of their travel with you (parents) is FREE! The Half-Fare card works better than a 4-day Caver Pass because your trips are too short to be worth covering with a Swiss Pass. (I actually looked up the prices).

Can I suggest that since you are I presume staying in Lucerne that you go to Mount Tittles from Lucerne, it closer. You will save yourselves a three hour train ride each way from Interlaken, and only do the Jungfrau trip if the weather is clear otherwise it will be a waste of your time and money.

Pauline, Maya said they are staying in Interlaken 2 nights. But yes, it is a good idea to check webcams before heading up if you want the views.
